This Plan of Care must contain the following information:
Types of assessment and assessment schedule to be used to determine services and needs of the client
Clients goals and timeline to reach goals
Services provided to the client to meet goals
Types of monitoring that will be used and monitoring schedule. Who will monitor and who will be monitored?
Any supporting office documentation such as letters of request, proposal letters, memos, or flyers related to this client and services within the care plan
You will also develop an intake form with necessary information from the client (you will have to create this on your own by following the textbook information and by creating it for the client.)
Include all the information stated for your client along with making it up for the information you dont have. For example, when doing history for the client you will decide their personal histories such as parents living or deceased and what kind of relationship they had with extended family along with educational/ vocational history. You will also include any medications that you suspect they may be on. You are creating this from the ground up. The textbook provides good information on what all goes into a case file.
